Equipment ACI

We provide fully automated re-sharpening of PCB tools. Our automatic system is fully integrated and provides re-sharpening, ring-depth setting, point-defect measurement and SPC data collection. The tool that is returned to the customer is guaranteed to meet the manufacturer's original specifications.

Equipment Re-sharp

State-of-the-art technology is our philosophy in terms of equipment. The MEL260 is a fully automated resharp/ringset/AOI machine, where robots handle carefully the drills during the entire process, taking and returning the drills to their original boxes. The AOI process generates a detailed report for every single drilled analyzed, which includes measurement on 13 geometries on the drill point, graphs and snapshot of every drill.

SPC Data Collection

Micro tools are becoming more popular and the trend towards SPC Data Collection of resharpened tools is a necessary one. In fact, this is a reality at Perfect Point. Every tool that passes through our cleaning and auto-repointing process is measured for 13 defects. The data is stored and can be accessed for yield improvements.

Our Process

The first step when we receive the drills is to make sure that 100% of all drills are properly cleaned through a dedicated Ultra-Sonic process. Our exclusive cleaning process, guarantee that repointed drills will "shine" as a new drill. We know that a dirty drill can generate smears, burrs, nailheading, oversized holes, drill breakage among other problems, this is why we are so meticulous to return only very clean drills to our customers.
